91-94 points - The Le Vigne shows a very typical nose of spices and flowers along with beautifully delineated dark red fruit and mineral flavors, with excellent length. The tannins are in balance here, adding to the overall sense of harmony this wine presents. No doubt the ability to blend wines from different parcels was a huge advantage in this vintage. "In 2003 our ripest fruit came from the Ceretta vineyard (in Serralunga) and we used less of that wine than normal in order to preserve as much freshness as possible," says Sandrone.
